... to being abducted

If I was intending to follow this theme thro 'properly', I'd be tempted to do a bit of selective bg adjustment as per the (crudely done) inset, to emphasise the 'rays' a little ...

With the green tones, could it be more along the lines of 'Beam me up, Snotty', than the std. command ?

Judging by the 'underarm hair' - as per Wims post, I'd say a variant of that beast (but am no expert) - something from the X-Flies

Thanks for the comments, guys ... I just think it's considering doing a quick 180 back flip (and holding on to the mother ship) to make sure the 'cosmic tan' reaches all parts
